Singing with Stacey

We had a really great time on Thursday night. We went to Moweaqua to give my cousin Stacey her own private "concert." Her son Trevor is a good guitar player and he picked out some of his mom's favorite songs. The rest of the family showed up and surprised Stacey and sang and played for a while.

It was an evening I won't soon forget. Stacey has been such a blessing to me. She has reminded me about how to live. She has been through a lot and has faced her cancer head on. I know there has been sadness and questioning along the way, but Stacey has constantly reminded all of us to keep the faith. The Lord's name has been hallowed because of her. She has made such a difference in my life.

I'll try to put up a small gallery later on, but for now you can check out Kellie Penn's blog. (Thanks for taking the pictures Kellie.)

Sometimes we miss the grace that God has put right under our nose because we are looking for the next thing. I want to be thankful in the moment for every blessing and opportunity I already have.

From my devotions this morning:

"As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart." Proverbs 27:19 I spoke w…

I've had a lot on my mind that last month. Please pray for me that I'll be able to write out what God has been placing on my heart. I've been listening and learning. Hopefully I'll be able to share soon.

Music Tuesday at 2 am on a Sunday Morning. No more coffee for me on Saturday nights!

This song is pretty awesome - it's a pouring out of the heart. Probably not something that the congregation sings easily, but the chorus could be something special in a corporate setting. Wow, I especially love right at the end of verse 2 (about 3:48)

"I don't have time to think about regrets when I think about the way...He loves us...O how he loves us!"

I know this setting was highly charged with emotion, but it's hard to get past the simple truth that He loves us.
